Visiting from Miami we felt the trip to Brazil would not be complete without a trip to a steakhouse. Some of the options we actually have back home, so we settled on this one. The steaks are of great quality, cooked perfectly to your specifications and delivered by friendly knowledgeable staff. The sausage sent out before the meal was perhaps my favorite thing, rivaled only by the fried potatoes. The fried potatoes are masterful. It's like they thinly sliced two pieces of potato, stuck them together, and then fried them. So you have two crunchy sides with an air pocket between them. Where have these been all my life??? Don't leave without ordering them. The picanha was as good as we expected. The chorizo is actually a cut of steak here, if he had known Portuguese a bit better we wouldn't have ordered it because we thought it was sausage, but here it's a cut of meat. Delicious anyway. The side of broccoli rice made us feel a bit healthier. Lol.

This restaurant came highly recommended as one of the best "barbecue" places in Rio. It's really…read moremore of a steakhouse than a barbecue place, but I wouldn't advise coming here unless you are ready to eat a Fred Flintstone-sized cut of meat. You have the option of going to the counter and picking the cut of meat you want or ordering off the menu and letting them pick for you. I highly recommend ordering from the counter, so you can see what you're in for. I ordered the t-bone steak, and it's the biggest steak I've ever seen in my life that wasn't for two people. I don't even know how I finished a steak that massive. The only thing I'd recommend is that for anyone (like me) who doesn't like anything less than medium, to know what the Portuguese word is for "well done". Medium well got me a medium rare steak. After drinks and sides, our bill came to about R$ 135, which was like $35. Look at the picture of my t-bone (or a picture of my friend's steak which was half of a steak he split with another friend) and tell me where else you can get a brontosaurus steak like that at that price?

Very efficient service. You will not need much Portuguese here, just accept if decline anything that comes your way. Other patrons were clean and educated. Bill for two was us$60 which included two big beers. I would return for certain next time I have a Rio airport layover.

This place was nice but if you're a foreigner - I would suggest visiting Churrascaria Palace near Copacabana instead. We loved it so much we went twice during our one week stay in Rio. The service was 100x better, many more cuts of steak coming around, amazing salad bar, and the ambience was just as nice. Also more foreigner friendly. **Knocking four stars off service specifically for the two hostesses up front (Jan 27 '26). Upon entering, they immediately gave each other a weird look making us feel weird, uncomfortable, and not welcome. They looked me up and down and exchanged judgmental looks upon entering and once again as we were leaving after our meal. As a classy restaurant, I expect a warm welcome from a hostess who carries that same classy standard in her demeanor and behavior.

Sadly, this was our last official meal in Rio before a flight to Buenos Aires…read more ATMOSPHERE: They're located in GIG just past the duty free shop in the food court. It's a takeout counter with shared seating with the other businesses. BEVERAGE: Bottled Stella & Heineken were $3 each, score! MENU: Pastas, pizzas, sandwiches. FOOD: Spaghetti Bolognese - $8. We received a pretty big bowl for the price, but the sauce was very weak in the flavor department, though grated cheese helped a little. The pasta was cooked in the middle of al dente and soft. I guess you can't expect much from an airport eatery. SERVICE: The female associates were very friendly and easy to communicate with. OVERALL: Good portions, lackluster food.
